With blessings from a higher authority, I am starting a new topic on proper iron conditioning of the body. I have seen a few people asking about this on the forum so I figured it was a good time to get this going. I have a extensive background in the internal and external Iron conditioning and can vouch for its effectiveness. First off you are not going to get this “Iron Body” conditioning overnight. I've seen on-line where people beat themselves in the arms and legs with bottles and sticks hoping to toughen the limbs. What this will do is destroy nerve endings and even though you won't feel as much pain during combat, it will still produce damage to the muscles and bones that haven't been developed. I am producing a top quality Dit Da Jow for AKTS that will be available within the next week or so. Sigung has been searching for a steady supply of Jow for his students for many years so last year I set out to fulfill this need. The goal was reached and the result is a very potent and powerful mix.

First off- What is Dit Da Jow?Roughly translated it means Hit-Fall Wine. It is an alcohol based liniment that is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), for various things. In injury there are a select recipe of herbs that are used to aid in healing, relieve pain, etc...For martial applications it can be used for conditioning of flesh, bone, and muscle. In martial application it causes a pleasant warming sensation and starts to relieve swelling as well as break up stagnant blood. It also helps the return of proper qi (chi) flow. With repeated training of limbs and constant application of Jow, over time the limb literally changes. The bone thickens and hardens, the muscles become more dense and less sensitive to pain, and the skin becomes thicker and stronger. With proper use of jow, there will be no outward appearance of your training. Shaolin monks used to refer to it as carrying a hand of iron in a glove of silk.The secret blend of herbs are gathered for whatever purpose they are intended for. They are then put into a bottle of preferably dark color and filled with a strong alcohol. The jow is then placed somewhere dark and cool for an extended period of time. Some is 6 months, 10 months, 2 years, etc... Each system has there own guarded "secret" recipes that are passed on from teacher to student.My recipes are no different. Closely guarded and well proven to work. They are aged in a high quality vodka for no less than 10 months. This will be the jow offered initially. As I mentioned in the earlier post, as the training continues the Jow will change.

The jow sounds like a good idea. I have some good herbal prescriptions for “Trauma Wine” if anyone would like to make some. The herbs are added to a rice wine, then resealed for a period of time. I have done it before and it takes at least 1 year before the wine is ready. 7 years is better but who wants to wait that long?

That sounds like a great companion for the “Drunken Monkey” training.

What you are desrcibing is a kind of Jow. This is for internal consumption. There are literally hundreds upon hundreds of Jow recipes for various things. The one I am preparing for the AKTS people is stricktly external. You would not want to drink this!! Any good recipe could be used in 6 to 8 months but just like any fine wine, it only gets better with age…. and more expensive. Art I think there should be a level 8 now and we make room for this Drunken Monkey technique!!! ;D
